I got a new sub and im looking for an amp powerfull enough to give the sub max power, its a jaycar response 250wrms subby. At the moment i have a shitbox boss 1000w Amp powering my 6x9's and sub(bridged) What would be a good amp to buy without spending much. Im on a limited budget :D

What price ranges can i expect.

Theres a top-of-the-line jaycar 350w rms (@ 4 ohm) monoblock amp (for subs) thats around $400 (less if you shop around). For a new amp, that comes with lots of options including a remote for bass control, thats pretty darn good. If you can get it for $300 or so i'd highly recommend it.

I do them for forum buddies for around $256. :(

Fhrx, i've got 1 little problem though..

At the moment i have 1 1000watt boss amp, and 1 500watt kenwood amp. The kenwood amp is only powering my crossovers (using 2 channels, i think) and the boss amp is powering my sub and 6x9's. What would you recommend i do?

a) Take the 500watt kenwood amp out, buy a 2channel Audison to power my sub, and use the boss to power 6x9's and fronts?

B) Throw the boss away and use the kenwood for 6x9's and fronts?

Would the gain in sound be worth the money i would spend to get another amp? I've also got to consider installation fee's because i have no idea on how to wire an amp :(

Say i did buy the Audison amp, would u be able to wire the stuff up for me? Let me know, because i will be doing something about my setup in the next few months..

Audison SRx2 Two Channel Amplifier

Ideal for factory sound systems, SRx 2 insures uncommon functionality and performances.

65w RMS x 2 (4 Ohms) - 85w RMS x 2 (2 Ohms) - 170w RMS x 1 (4 Ohms)

that would be around the same amount my boss amp is powering, have i got the right info?

If thats the case, there wouldnt be much of an increase? Someone correct me if im wrong.

Boss 1000watt and Kenwood 500 watt? Remember one thing you have to realise that those amps are only outputting a fraction of their quoted power. A serious 1000 watt amp will be nearly a meter long usually.

Disciple, are you open to suggestions regarding your system dude? If you don't mind me saying, this is what I'd suggest you do.

1. Put the $300 to one side.

2. Sell both your existing amplifiers.

3. Buy a single quality powerful amplifier (something like an Audison SRx3).

4. Run your fronts and sub with the above amp ( 75 RMS to each from and 250 RMS to the sub).

5. Run the rears off your deck.

There you go. Once you have thrown in some sound deadening to strenghen up the front stage sound and quality cable to interconnect the entire thing, you'll have a beautifuly crisp sounding clean system that can blow your head off every now and again. :(

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
